I
was
trying to get your attention
not to mention
come up with an invention
similar to a shatterproof heart
in the beginning you were the start
of my smiles, the end of my tears
I knew this thing we had would last for years
all I had to do was
trust
in
you
Pain comes in so many different hues
can I get one in blue..please
perhaps you can give me two in red
so I can visit my rage twice
in one night
For I am constantly losing sight
because of this blood
in my eyes
everytime I blink for clear vision
weary eyelids scratch my corneas
the gritty salt of my tears
intensifies the pain
this is why I don't cry
no longer do I cry
Can you see me now?
NO! Can you see me now?
What about now?
Let me climb o the top of the hill
turn left
lean my head to the right
I think I have a signal
that you'll understand
a few universal gestures
Can you see me now?
What about now?
Of course you can't
Your eyes have been closed for so long
you might just have to use a chisel
for all that cold in the corners
Yea that shit's crusted, rusted, busted over
and over
and over
Quite frankly
I'm so sick of being invisible
invincible
irreplaceable
I have no face at all
in your mind
Yes, you've created your
own image of who I'm supposed to be
so you can never see me for me
I am a WOMAN
I lust
I ache
I live
I breathe
I care
I can't do this anymore
you used to adore me
what changed?
Did you mean to aim
that fucking bullet at my soul?
deliciously decorated
marksman that you are
My soul is soaking my clothes
Seeping through my pores
sliding over the sores
from the stones you threw
how's the view from your
glass
house…
Can you see me now?
I hate
I scream
I cry
I can't do this anymore
look at the score board
game over
you win
I can't compete with
your idealistic
unrealistic
her
SHE no longer EXISTS
not in this skin
not in this blood
no longer in this
Soul…
Can You Hear Me Now?
~M~
